Lanterne Rooms - Canberra

I have been coming to the Lanterne Rooms for at least ten years and it's my favourite Canberra restaurant. The food is magnificent and the service excellent.

Have been to Lanterne Rooms a few times and have always loved the variety available. However this last visit was a little disappointing. Most of the food was really lovely but the beef dish was pretty tasteless. In fact it was a bit weird when our group all commented that the beans served were tastier than the meat. Also, serving rice pudding as dessert for a $92 per head fixed menu seemed a little cheap, considering the variety of interesting desserts that come from Malaysia/Singapore etc. The bit of kiwi fruit at the bottom didn't add much to the dish. The service was exceptional as always, with a great wine list.

The Lanterne Rooms is by far Canberra's best restaurant. Absolutely delicious food, a good drinks selection, a delightful ambience and absolutely impeccable service.

Exceptional food and service to match, there was plenty of food to go around. Location was a little tricky to find and park but worth the effort.

This restaurant is above average for Canberra but could be so much better ... they should either cook authentic Malay food or say that it’s a fusion event. Also, table service needs to be sharper be seen to be grateful for your customers ... That said, the duck was excellent as was the overall menu curry and chicken tandoori were both average. Good wine list.
